Congratulations to our Y9 fashion designers taking part in the TICE (This is Creative Enterprise) programme. They are making incredible progress on their portfolios and have had masterclasses from industry experts and a visit to Northumbria University.
One of our own @LewisMiley1 👏🏻
Y9 students had the incredible opportunity to visit Teleperformance in Gateshead. This workplace has become a key partner for us in our careers provision. They showed students around and led workshops and challenges to develop employability skills and gave an insight into a range
of roles. Students learned the salaries, job descriptions and skills involved in these and met a range of employees. Many thanks to Dave Green, Claire Taylor and David Gibson from the North East Combined Authority for the financial support.

Today, we welcomed back former student Isabelle. She left us three years ago with grades 8 and 9 across the board to study A Levels at Durham Sixth Form. Now, she is completing a Higher Apprenticeship in Law in London, with the firm Wedlake Bell.
She spoke with our Y10s about her career journey and gave some incredible advice. Thank you Isabelle.

Year 10 have been developing the ‘soft’ skills that employers value and have visited the Amazon Gateshead workplace, meeting employers and employees. Well done year 10!
